    Anyone ever had scope rings slide/move on a dovetail/sako mounting system?

    Just curious as to people's experience with Tikka dovetail rings or the current Sako mounting system. Ever had scopes/rings move on the rail from heavy recoil? I know the tapered rail on Sako's is meant to negate the effect of recoil but in my mind you just can't beat a weaver/picatinny mount with the cross-slots for rock solid durability. The tapered rail could actually make it easier for rings to come loose if you dropped the rifle on it's butt? OR is the clamp force of the rings way too much for that to ever happen?
